Dec 1, 2019

LACONIA- Mr. Paul D. Gauthier, 58, of Laconia, passed away on November 24, 2019 at the Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Boston surrounded by the love of his family. He bravely lived with the deck he was dealt and always saw the positive in it to help others, a firm believer that “love is all that is.”

Paul was born in Berlin, the son of the late Gerard and Pauline (Arsenault) Gauthier. He was raised and educated in Nashua and was a graduate of Nashua High School. He later attended the Nashua Vocational Technical College and became a Master Electrician.

Paul held many positions throughout his career, most recently for EFI. He was previously employed by the St. Francis Nursing Home as a maintenance technician, by U.S. Cellular as a phone technician and for “Cookin’,” where he installed car stereos and would form many long-lasting relationships through the years. He most cherished his employment at Shanklin Corporation where he would meet his dear friends Norman Shanklin and Dick Blake with whom he had formed a long-lasting loving family relationship.

A true “people person” who embraced his community, Paul made an impact on everyone with whom he interacted. He was a Reiki Master and registered 200-hour yoga teacher. He assisted his beloved wife, Sheryl in the operation of their yoga studio, “Yoga from the Heart”. He received great peace from teaching meditation classes. Paul loved fixing things and had a special knack for computers, especially taking them apart and putting them back together. He also enjoyed camping, movies and traveling. He treasured his movie dates with his daughter Danielle and yes they had been know to sneak into a second movie with no guilt.
